ahachi.

Headword: 
ahachi.
Principal English Translation: 

not just a little, but rather much, many; abundant (see Karttunen); interestingly, the IDIEZ entry for ahachi refers to small quantities.

IPAspelling: 
ɑhɑtʃi
Frances Karttunen: 

AHACHI not a little, much / abundante, hay muchos (T)[(2)Tp.221]. T gives this bound with ZAN, ZANAHACHI. It is possible that this is a case of distributive reduplication rather than negation in view of the /K003/ ‘more, every much’ sense of ACHI in some other constructions. See AH-, ACHI.
